IC Reshuffling Counseling Staff Time Doubled; Students To Take Over Activities By JIM DYGERT A reorganization of the University's International Center effective today was announced yesterday by Director James M. Davis. Most important effect of the reorganization will be the doubling of counseling staff time available to foreign students, Davis emphasized. Along with the reorganization, the Center is initiating a new poli- cy of having all its programs and activities planned and conducted by students through the International Students Association. To Continue As Advisors Davis especially pointed up "the importance of students run- ning their own social program." The 'Center's staff will continue in the role of advisors and helpers and step out as promoters. "All we'll continue to operate are the Thursday teas and some of the longer off-campus tours," Davis said. A third important aspect of the reorganization is a strengthening of the community relations pro- gram. Janice M. Miller joins the staff today to take charge of the hospitality program for interna- tional visitors and the community hospitality program. .The doubling, of the counseling time available to foreign students is being made possible by a change in positions. Gaston J. Sigur, for- merly assistant director, now holds the title of Counselor and has been assigned to foreign students in the literary college and to graduate students whose fields would be in the literary college on an under- graduate level. JANICE M. MILLER Klinger Title Changed ... in new post Robert B. Klinger, previously as- sistant counselor, also now has the , title of Counselor and has been assigned to foreign students in all Po l Vts fields except those covered by Sigur and Davis. Davis will act as coun- selor to those in both graduate and und(ergraduate education. _ In the new arrangement, Davis will be counseling about five per T o B e utr cent of the foreign students here, and the yest will be evenly divid- ed between Sigur and Klinger.

The 80-year-old chairman step- ped out of public life, but not out of controversy, as the commission expired after a two-year explora- tion of government organization and policies. He released, at a news confer- ence, the hitherto secret report of the commission's task force on water and power. That report urg- ed the sale, lease or transfer of all federally owned power plants along with "town sites and related buildings." ."Monumental Work' Although the 12-member Hoover Commission itself adopted milder recommendations to restrict gov- ernment electrical development, Hoover called the task force report a "monumental work" which "de- serves consideration by the whole country." But a Democrat member of the commission, Rep. C. Holifield (Calif.) denounced the report as amounting to a manual for "pri- vate utility propaganda." The task force, headed by re- tired Adm. Ben Moreell, chairman of Jones & .Laughlin Steel Corp., Pittsburgh, proposed the break-up of the Tennessee Valley Authority. Proposes Transfer It proposed a transfer of the TVA power plants devoted to atom- ic use to the Atomic Energy Com- mission, and the shifting of TVA's "miscellaneous nonpower activi- ties, "including flood control, navi- gation and chemicals research to "other federal or state agencies." The nonatomic electrical facilities, the Moreell report suggested, should be offered for sale or lease to private industry. Hoover at his news conference said that "some- where about 15 billion dollars" could be restored to the Treasury by adoption of recommendations for turning unneeded property into cash, liquidating some lending agencies. Ike Extends Draft Laws WASHINGTON (M - President Dwight D. Eisenhower's signature yesterday extended the military draft of teenagers for another four years and made doctors liable for compulsory duty for two more years. The President signed an omnibus bill wrapping up the following ba- sic measures: 1. A four-year extension of the regular draft which makes all youths 18/ years old, and older liable for two years' active service. 2. Extension for four years of present authority for servicemen to. make out allotment checks to their dependents. 3. For two more years, doctors, dentists, veterinarians and other trained men will be liable for two years' draft into active service. U.S. S Still Remains Unsettled teel l f E i I i r s F 1 i r Dixon-Yates Scrapping1 May Occur WASHINGTON (A) - President Dwight D. Eisenhower opened the way yesterday to scrap the Dixon- Yates contract, a private power project his administration had vig- orously backed despite hot protests from public power advocates. Preident Eisenhower ordered a study to determine whether the contract should be canceled or continued in view of the announ- ced decision of Memphis, Tenn., to build its own plant instead of tak- ing Dixon-Yates power. The President didn't say the contract would be abandoned. But one of his chief aides, Budget Di- rector Rowland Hughes, said "one of the probable consequences" of the Memphis decision is that the Dixon-Yates plant won't be need- ed. New Study Hughes was ordered by Presi- dent Eisenhower to make the new study in conjunction with the Ato- mic Energy Commission and the Tennessee Valley Authority. Hughes appeared tonight at a hearing before a Senate Juliciary subcommittee on Dixon-Yates. Sen. Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn.), subcommittee chairman and bitter foe of Dixon-Yates, placed the White House announcement in the record. Hughes commented: "As you can see, we've got a job to do promptly. We'll begin on that Monday morning." 'Pretty Solid' He added that all he could say' was that "this looks pretty solid." Sen. Kefauver asked him what he meant by that, and Hughes said he meant to have Memphis take on the job of supplying its power needs. Sen. Kefauver asked if he meant it was pretty solid that the Dixon- Yates plant won't be needed. "I'd say that's one of the prob- able consequences," Hughes re- plied, but he added he couldn't say finally what will work out. May Be Abandoned The President acted after the TVA reported, in view of the Mem- phis action, it could not end Dix- on-Yates power into the Memphis area. TVA added it would be "im- practicable" to send the private power elsewhere in its system. Presdient Eisenhower's action thus opened the way for possible abandonment of a contract his ad- ministration has been champion- ing in the face of angry protests from many Democrats, especially from the Tennessee Valley area. The contract calls for private utilities to build a 107 million dol- lar generating plant at West Mem- phis, Ark., to feed power .into the government's TVA system to re- place energy consumed by atomic plants elsewhere.

LITTLE FANFARE: MSC to MSU Name Change Official At midnight last night a new state university was born. There were no dedication cere- monies, no cornerstones laid. The official title of the Univer- sity's old rival, Michigan State College in East Lansing, was changed to Michigan State Uni- versity. June graduates of Michigan State boast diplomas saying they were graduates from Michigan State University, however. Opposition The name change was made possible by a state legislature vote in April. The bill asking for the change was based on the opinion of administrators that to have twos universities in the state with names so similar as. "The Uni- versity of Michigan" and "Michi- gan State University would re- sult in dire confusion when wills and grants left money' to "the state university." University President Harlan Hatcher argued agaihst the change because "the people of the state established the Univer- sity of Michigan as its state uni- versity. Now the University has been made world famous. It is not fair to take that name and give it to another institution." No Action Following the legislature's ac- tion in April, some of the Regents predicted there would be legal Picket Lines Start Making Appearances Strike :Appears In Progresion PITTSBURGH (A - A nation- wide strike of 600,000 men in the basic steel industry appeared to be on early today as top negotiators for the CIO United Steelworkers and pace setting United States Steel Corporation broke up a five- hour meeting without word of agreement. The negotiators said only that "we are continuing our meetings," Picket lines appeared at steel mills across the country. No Work Without Contract The union had made it clear it would not work without a contract and the rank and file wasted no time going into action. David J. McDonald, president of the CIO United Steelworkers, and John A. Stephens, vice president and chief negotiator for U.S. Steel Corporation, declined to clarify the situation as they emerged from their long private negotiating hud- dle in a downtown hotel. Both apparently agreed with re- porters' statements that a nation- wide steel strike seemed to be on, an hour after the midnight dead- line for the walkout. Personal Bargaining They had been meeting, flanked by attorneys, for four houra stral ht. From time to time McDonald sent word to secondary union nego- tiators, assembled in a ballroom of the William Penn Hotel nearby, telling them to stand by for fur- ther word about his personal bar- gaining with Stephens. It was expected that any deal worked out between McDonald and Stephens for the union and U.S. Steel Corp. would be a pattern for the rest of the steel industry, as has been the traditional procedure in the past. Workers Restless Restless steelworkers throughout the nation began walking off the job hours before midnight. In scattered areas steelworkers left work-either because of re- sulting layoffs or gun-jumping on the strike deadline. The incidents were few, however. Backgrounded by such a pic- ture McDonald Stephens battled with words over how much of a pay increase workers are entitled to receive. Reports persisted that the cor- poration has made several offer in day-long negotiations. No fig- ures were quoted by the top of ficials. Negotiations in Recess Actually, McDonald is pressing 96 basic steel and iron ore m. ing companies for a wage increas which would benefit 600,000 un- ion members. They now earn a average of $2.33 an hour. Negotiations with the othei firms have been in recess fo some time. Usually the other companie stand by until U.S. Steel makes a decision then adopt the geera pattern of agreement as terms fo their own contracts Last Thursday McDonald re. jected as completely inadequat an offer by Big Steel to increas workers' wages an average of 1 . cents an hour. Several other bli . steel companies made similar of fers and received like replies fro McDonald. In Washington, White Housi press secretary James Hagerty said the Eisenhower administra- tion policy was to "wait and see" what happened. Fliers' Fate Still Uncertain TOKYO- () -Bright summe weather today gave another day o grace to urgent efforts to rescue action to prevent the official change from ever being enacted. No action was instigated, how- ever. When Gov. G. Mennen Wil- liams signed the bill, he remarked "This state is certainly big enough for two state-supported universities." High School Purchase Rests on Street Closing The University has informed the Ann Arbor school board that its purchase of the Ann Arbor High School building is contingent upon the closing of Thayer St. In a special letter to the school board, Vice-President Wilbur K. Pierpont declared that purchase of the school building would depend on closing the street. Last week the University asked the City Council to approve closing the street. Mayor William that expansion of the University would be unwise, and discouraged Peron About Ready To End Church Feud BUENOS AIRES, Argentina OP) -There were signs yesterday that President Juan D. Peron would like to patch up his 8-month-old feud with the Roman Catholic Church. Peron's indicated reversal of policy toward the church is re- ported to have set in since the June 16 naval-air revolt against him. A report circulated by high dip- lomatic and government sources said a special emissary is coming here from the Vatican. Another report from diplomat- ic sources said President Peron sp. n Nr- oo TT .m.ceYA o That was one reason why the initial tests of the vaccine for the mass inoculation program was less stringent than that for the material used in the field trials in 1954. It takes as many as 30 monkeys to test a single lot of vaccine. Besides the economy of the placental tissue material it has one other advantage, the re- searchers said. It does not pose a hazard of causing an allergic reaction due to the presence of tiny amounts of kidney tissue in the vaccine.

You keep maneuverability, says Walter Reuther. The perpetual twinkle in Reuth- er's blue-gray eyes can be inter- preted in several ways. You might see in it a sense of amusement. Or continuing opti- mism and self-confidence. Or a challenge to a battle of wits. Or a sense of triumphant mischief, as though he had just swallowed a Ford vice-president for lunch and was getting ready to carve up General Motors' higher echelons for dinner. Layoff Pay no maneuverability. They were so certain they wouldn't have to yield on the GAW thing in any form. Stock-Purchase Plan "So, after Ford gave us the principle of GAW, General Motors had to grab the Ford package in a hurry. They had no time to make any changes. "Now, go bacl to Ford. Ford of- fered us a stock-purchase plan. We immediately saw it was the same as the one GM had offered, and we rejected it. Yet, Ford thought they had us in a box. But within 30 minutes, I had already figured how we'd get out of that position. "Ford's strategy was this. Their 'partnership in prosperity' pack- refused my invitation to address a union meeting and tell about his plan. His second mistake was to write me a letter suggesting that the Ford proposal be put to a se- cret vote. "They thought they had us in this box," the union leader con- 5inued. "But here is where we had to maneuver. We had to change the situation so that it would be a choice between two plans - theirs and ours-and not a choice between theirs and a strike. Not Put to Vote "So I said to John Bugas (chief Ford negotiator), "We're both in- terested in greater security for Ford workers, aren't we?' "He said, 'Yes.' I said, you're convinced the Fulnrw onrs reeryovr nan. E. Brown remarked at the time in the central part of the. city hasty approval of street closings by the Council. Addition Planned Use of Ann Arbor High School has been planned for the speech department, S u r v e y Research Center offices and Reserve Offi- cers Training Corps headquarters by the University. An addition to the building, if purchased by the University, has been planned. The state Legislature voted $1,- 000,000 of the purchase price for the building to the University re- cently. A guarantee that the ad- ditional $400,000 needed to buy the school would be granted next year was made by the Legislature. Request Being Studied University request to close Thayer St. is now being studied by the Traffic and Safety Com- mittee of the City Council. School Superintendent Jack Elzay will soon present his views on the street closing to the Committee. Failure of the University to purchase the high school would mean the immediate loss of the $1,400,000 purchase price. MEMP
